Device and method for adapting a container for use in a floral arrangement

A method of preparing a vase for a floral arrangement, wherein the vase has an open top with a maximum width at least one point, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing an elastomeric cover, containing a plurality of openings that are arranged in a grid pattern of multiple rows and multiple columns, wherein said elastomeric cover has a width that is less than said maximum width of said vase, and wherein multiple openings are present in each of said rows and said columns;
• stretching said elastomeric cover over said open top of said vase, wherein said width of said elastomeric cover elastically increases to a width greater than that of said vase and engages said vase around said open top.

A floral arrangement cover for a vase, wherein the vase has an open top, said cover comprising:

• an elastic planar top surface in which are defined a plurality of openings that are arranged in a grid pattern of multiple rows and multiple columns, wherein multiple openings are disposed within each of said rows and said columns;
• an elastic peripheral wall that extends downwardly from said planar top surface, said elastic planar top and said elastic peripheral wall being elastically stretchable to a stretched size having an unstretched width that is smaller than a maximum width of the open top of the vase, where said peripheral wall stretches to receive the open top of the vase therein and said elastic planar top spans the open top of the vase, wherein said peripheral wall engages the vase around the open top by contracting around the open top.
